Support for Newcastle muslims

The New South Wales Government has asked the Community Relations Commission to offer any assistance to Newcastle Police and the muslim community after an attack at a local mosque.

Several men tried to kick in the door of the Wallsend mosque on Monday night after childrens' scripture classes.

The incident was caught on CCTV and police are relying on the footage to make an arrest.

The Minister for Citizenship and Communities Victor Dominello is urging anyone with information to call police.

"It is unacceptable for the attack to happen," he said.

"I am confident that New South Wales Police are doing everything within their power with regard to the alleged attackers at Wallsend and any assistance that the community can provide would be much appreciated."

You have no doubt been hearing a lot about the Paris Agreement and know that it pertains to climate change, but are too embarrassed at this stage to ask for an overall explanation of what it's all about.
